Yes I agree, everyone's meno journey is different.
I'm 54 soon, and will be 4 years post meno, I started with sweats, then about 6 months later everything hit me. I actually thought I was going mad!. Thought I was going to die on numerous occasions. Horrendous experience. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
First started on hrt at 50. Had a number of problems, then settled on femoston conti and Sandrena gel.
It's certainly NOT perfect, but it keeps me sane most of the time.

I did try black cohosh, but did nothing. (Dr recommend it to me)
On the other hand, my sister in law got through her meno on wild yam?( I think it was that) and never looked back. But then, like I say, everyone's different.
